  • Walking vs private car — distances and traffic feel different by neighborhood (Old Quarter, West Lake).

  • Food & energy — tell the guide about kids, elders, allergies and preferred meal length.
  • Language expectation — ask whether Mandarin (普通话 / Mandarin) is fluent conversation, not greetings only.
